Ping?

The default value of TeX-master is t.  Binding a symbol which might be
defvar'ed within the let-body does not work.  In fact, this might break
the Emacs instance, rendering any latex-mode buffer unusable.

To make a long story short, there is no excuse for the form in question.
Please remove it.  Everyone who messes with TeX-master should use
org-export-latex-final-hook to set TeX-master and/or add a local
variables list to the buffer.

            * org-latex.el (org-export-as-latex): Do not bind TeX-master.
